Gray asked what he was thinking for all those minutes under the towel, staring at that locker room floor.

“I think it was just the missed opportunities,” Brady said.

Soon he was ushered into a hallway, off to where the podium waited. He went through a side exit, not the main one where his wife, Gisele Bundchen, the Brazilian supermodel, had been waiting.

She heard he’d gotten past her and began sprinting – in black boots with three-inch heels – after him. He was 30 yards ahead of her.

“Tommy,” she shouted. “Tommy! Tommy!”

He didn’t hear her. She finally plowed through the crowd, the lingerie model throwing elbows until she stopped him in mid-stride and offered a big hug, a kiss and a look into Brady’s still-red eyes. Cameras flashed all around them.

On her way out of Lucas Oil Stadium, Gisele Bundchen was heckled loudly by Giants fans. This is the cost of doing business when you date an athlete. But her ire was reserved for New England’s receiving corps. Waiting for an elevator, Gisele voiced her frustrations, punctuated with a swig from her water(?) bottle. Video from The Insider:
